SBI Fire Engineer Recruitment 2026 – 17 Posts, Apply Before 25.11.2026

SBI is hiring 17 fire safety engineers as Assistant Manager (Engineer – Fire), and it is a regular job, not a contract.

SCO stands for Specialist Cadre Officer, the group SBI uses for expert and technical posts.

Recruitment Overview

Important Dates

Application Fee

Vacancy Details

UR means Unreserved, which is the general category. EWS is the Economically Weaker Section quota. Backlog vacancies are reserved seats that stayed empty earlier and are now carried forward. SBI says all numbers are provisional and may change with the bank’s needs.

Eligibility Criteria

So the quickest route is a BE/B.Tech in fire or safety plus 2 years of work. If you came through the Institution of Fire Engineers or the Divisional Officers course instead, you need 3 years, and the job must be at Station Officer level or equivalent.

Who Should Apply

• This is a regular officer job, not a contract. You join as Assistant Manager in JMGS-I and serve a 6-month probation, which is a trial period before you are confirmed.
• The notification lists only fire and fire-safety qualifications, so a general BE or B.Tech in another branch does not qualify on its own.
• You can be posted at any SBI office in India. The bank says requests for a specific place may not be entertained, and it can also send you on deputation (a temporary posting) to its associates, subsidiaries or other organisations.
• Your experience certificate must say in plain words that you worked in fire safety. If it does not, the bank can cancel your candidature at any point of time.
• If you work in a government office, a public sector company or a bank, carry a No Objection Certificate (NOC, a letter from your employer allowing you to apply) to the interview.

Selection Process

In short: you must clear the online test first, and both parts count towards your rank. The test carries 70% of the final score and the interview 30%, so the written test matters more.

Salary and Benefits

In plain terms, you start at Rs 48,480 a month in basic pay. DA (Dearness Allowance, which offsets rising prices), HRA (House Rent Allowance) and CCA (City Compensatory Allowance, for costly cities) come on top, but the notification gives no in-hand figure.

How to Apply

1. Open the SBI Current Openings page, scroll down and click advertisement no. CRPD/SCO/2026-27/29. Download the advertisement and read it fully.
2. Keep a valid email ID ready and keep it active until the result is out, because call letters and interview advice come by email only. Also scan your photograph, signature, left-hand thumb impression and handwritten declaration.
3. Click Apply Online and fill in the form. If you cannot finish in one go, save it. The system gives a registration number and password, so note them down. You can edit the saved form only 3 times.
4. Upload your documents and capture a live photograph on the form with your webcam or mobile phone. Check the preview before you submit, because nothing can be corrected after final submission.
5. Pay the fee online (General, EWS and OBC pay Rs 750) and take a printout of your application form and e-receipt. Your registration is complete only when the fee is paid on or before 25.11.2026.

Note: Do not send a hard copy of your application or documents to SBI. If you apply more than once, only the last completed application is kept and the fee paid for the others is forfeited.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving the fee for the last day. Your registration is complete only when the fee is paid online by 25.11.2026, and SBI is not responsible if the website is slow or jammed on the last day.
• Uploading a file in the wrong slot. If the photo, signature, thumb impression or declaration is not in its own place, you will not be allowed to sit the exam.
• Writing your signature or declaration in capital letters. SBI does not accept it.
• Picking the wrong category. SBI does not allow a change after you register. OBC candidates in the creamy layer must apply as Unreserved, and EWS candidates without the Income and Asset Certificate must also apply as Unreserved.
• Putting mehndi, ink or any chemical on your hands. SBI may check your thumb impression at several stages, and a mismatch can cancel your candidature.
• Keeping spectacles or contact lenses on for the iris scan. SBI may scan your left eye and asks you to remove them.
